Worried about undeclared Studies in Study Permit profile

[lostintranslation234]

In short, I have a 4 year bachelor degree and I started a masters and dropped out after 5 months in the US. In the education section in the study permit application (for masters in Canada), I mentioned the Bachelors degree but not the incomplete masters as my highest level of education, thinking this section only referred to completed degrees.

With EE, I have to mention the incomplete masters in personal history section. Does this account for misrepresentation? I plan on addressing it in a LOE anyways but who has been through something similar?

You don't have a masters degree. Don't think there's a misrepresentation. You can justify it in a personal history with explanation that you dropped out in just 5 months, hence you have no masters degree to report.

Hi iSaidGoodDay,
I have the same issue with incomplete masters degree, may I ask if I need to also explain why I did not mention it during my previous study permit application voluntarily in the LoE or I can just focus on explaining my current pr application (i.e. I don't have a master's degree for that, so I add this experience to my personal history instead of my education)? Thanks!

If you are adding it to your personal history, attach a LoE explaining that you dropped out and never completed the degree. You should be fine.

Btw, I also explained about "the reason I dropped out" and "the reason that I chose to study a master in Canada afterwards" in my LoE, do you think if its too much? Cuz I am thinking maybe "the reason to chose to study a master in Canada afterwards" is not necessary...
